[nabs-l] Commission for the Blind rejected funding for CCB

[Scott C. LaBarre]

Greetings:

Please feel free to contact me off list at the below information for some 
specific advice.  Generally, the key in appealing these decisions is to make 
the argument that training offered at the CCB or wherever is unique and 
specifically tailored to help the individual blind person achieve his/her 
goals  and that existing programs in the state cannot do so as efficiently 
and effectively.  Every case is, however, different, and that is why I 
advise contacting me off list for  additionaly assistance.
